Doesn't say what you think it does when you realize that the woman
speaking here is waiting patiently for her true-love to return and
marry her.  You see, her father doesn't believe the man is coming back
and wants her to forget him, but she believes in true love and intends
to endure to the end.

However, it does say a lot about her loyalty to her SO. :-)
